[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 4

[BevBHA]

No, it’s not “a little bit of luck with the VAR”, it’s a clear offside and a handball

Right? I hate the narrative. If Slovakia had 2 disallowed it would be “Slovakia had two goals rightly disallowed as Belgium got a deserved victory”

Belgium's squad has been full of players that don't like each other for a while apparently. This is from a couple of years ago https://www.sportbible.com/football...de-bruyne-jan-vertonghen-eden-hazard-20221129

It's been a matchday of upsets!
Romania win. Slovakia win. Austria win?

 

[BevBHA]

Maybe if England had as a poor of a side as Belgium

Doku and De Bruyne both start for us easily. Trossard would be there or their abouts. Several of their other players get in our squad without a doubt. I’d take our squad over theirs don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think there’s a massive gap between them.

Doku gets nowhere near our starting 11, KDB is the only player I'd take

Sorry I don’t agree. Doku or Trossard definitely start on the left side for England ahead of our current options of Gordon or an out of position alternative

They start ahead of Foden/Gordon?

What are you judging that on?

Mainly Gordon being distinctly average and Foden’s best position definitely not being left wing. Foden would start for me every day of the week, one of our best players, but not on the left side

Not just the serbians and english booing anthems then this time round!

I'm starting to think Doku is the ultimate 'flatters to deceive' player. Quick and good at beating players, but not exactly a great finisher or passer of the ball. I don't think he's any better than Grealish personally.

What a player Theo Hernandez looks. We could do with a wing back so dynamic going forward.

 

[BevBHA]

Referee noticeably one sided so far

Refs giving all the 50/50’s to France imo

 

[Midget]

Who's left for you? I have just Fernandes really

Yeah I also have the ratty-faced whinger left, along with Cancelo. Had Stanciu as a differential though, so an ok day all things considered.

Currently 52 points with those two left to play, after accounting for uncaptaining Lukaku (-2) and subbing out him (-2) and Kane (-2) for those two tonight. No Frenchies to play tonight. You?

Separate note: Are there enough of us on here to merit a separate Fantasy Euro thread so we don't clog up @jcdenton08 's lovely matchday (@Wozza : "not matchday actually") threads?

Due to lack of people mentioning fantasy euro so far I'm guessing not but happy to start one if enough interested...

 

[LamieRobertson]

How has the ref not given a corner..clear save by the French goalie …ref

 

[AlexBH]

Good game this Austria V France. More like a high level Prem or Champions League game. On yesterdays showing England would probably lose to both teams.

Austria OG

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lucky France

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oh well
